Purpose
Returns a mixed-case string, where only the first letter of each word is capitalized. You can call this function from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
Proper$( string_expr ) string_expr is a string expression.
Return Value
String
Description
The Proper$() function first converts the entire string_expr string to lower case, and then capitalizes only the first letter of each word in the string, thus producing a result string with "proper" capitalization. This style of capitalization is appropriate for proper names.
Example
Dim name, propername As String
name = "ed bergen"
propername = Proper$(name)
' propername now contains the string "Ed Bergen"
name = "ABC 123"
propername = Proper$(name)
' propername now contains the string "Abc 123"
name = "a b c d"
propername = Proper$(name)
' propername now contains the string "A B C D"See Also:
